This is a dual-purpose stain, infused with super-antioxidants and is supposed to give a natural-looking flush without drying out the skin or clogging the pores. When I use this on my lips, it's a bit watery and applies unevenly. On the cheek, the same thing-too blotchy. Plus I find it doesn't really last all that long either. It's too bad as it is a really pretty colour! The one good thing is that it's not extremely drying as most lip stains are, so I'll use it up. I'm actually getting there as you can see!
2. Nutra Nail Instant Smudge Repair*
I'll admit it-I am not very good at applying nail polish. One reason is that I am too impatient to let the polish dry really well before going to do something else. I just can't sit still for that long! I get bored! Nutra Nail Instant Smudge Repair is supposed to fix smudges, marks, nicks to make your manicure look brand new again. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get this to work for the life of me.
But, after speaking with Jessica@Beautezine, this stuff does work for her! The secret is to add a bit of polish on to your nail first, then add this on top and your manicure looks brand new. So there you go.
3. Cover FX Camouflage Concealer
It's no secret that I have HORRIBLE purple circles under my eyes. I've been severely anemic for years, so that's made them look even worse. I have a really tough time covering them up lately, so, I thought I'd try COVER FX Camouflage Concealer. This is the lightest shade believe it or not! It actually does a decent job at colour correcting the purple, but what I don't like is how it separates. Can you see how watery it is in that swatch photo? You have to remember to shake this sucker up before you use it, and me-I've the brain capacity of a starfish sometimes so I NEVER remember to do that. I'd rather have something that stays in mixture on it's own thank you.
That's it this month! I actually haven't had too many things not work well lately.
My resolutions have been going well. I'm reading another book, eating fruit every day now and am exercising too! I have been watching what I eat and trying to eat lower fat, plus I am cooking more too! I don't think I've really lost much weight, but I know I'm feeling a whole heck of a lot better! Is it just me, or do you find that when you start an exercise program you seem to be hungrier? Especially if you are lifting weights?
So I would deem January a success for me. Small steps, right?
How was your January?
